Amazingly, the heater hose tool worked for me last weekend. But I can definitely see how it might not.
If you get into a quandry about all of those screws mixed up in the same bag, send me a PM or email and I'll help you sort through it while it's fresh on my mind. As you already know by now, the black screws with the 7mm heads are the dominant fasteners. The longer ones of those go into the kick panel below the steering wheel. You'll definitely remember the three bolts that hold the airbag in place, and the three little tiny 5.5 mm bolts hold the air bag switch in place.
